Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 163 You Take Medicine Again (2)
At this time, the people from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion also heard the news and rushed up. When they came up, they saw that their eldest daughter was being abused by Princess Tian so much. Let them not offend the princess of the Duanmu family in the slightest. They couldn't get over the conflict, so they raised their heads and shouted at Duanmu Tian: "Master Tian, ​​how dare you treat my lady like this? Could it be that you want to cause the right prime minister's mansion and your Duanmu prince's mansion to fight?" hostility?"

Duanmutian was indifferent as if he didn't hear anything at all, and took a few steps forward, and kicked Cheng Mengxuan who was about to struggle to get up from the ground again, causing Cheng Mengxuan to roll out screaming "Gululu" .

The people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion became more and more annoyed, but there were people from the Duanmu Palace in front of them, and they couldn't rush away for a while, so some people turned their heads and looked at Duanmu, who was standing behind Duanmu Tian and looked at him indifferently, without the slightest intention to stop him Jing and Duanmuchen.

"Senior Jing, Young Master Chen, Youxiang's Mansion and Duanmu Prince's Mansion have always been on good terms, so what does Princess Tian's behavior mean?"

Duan Muchen stood there with his hands folded, and when he heard the words, he smiled coldly, but still had no intention of making a move. Duanmu Jing raised his head and swept across the man lightly, saying: "I believe that there must be something wrong with my sister's behavior like this." Her reasoning is that no matter when, where and what happens, the princess represents Duanmu Palace!"

Because of this, the forward steps stopped, Duanmutian finally looked up at those people, and said: "I suspect that Cheng Mengxuan is in collusion with others, intending to assassinate the princess and the third highness!"

"impossible!"

"I do not have!"

Cheng Mengxuan struggled to get up from the ground, raised her head and stared at her vigorously, and said: "You are talking nonsense, how could I do such a thing? It is clear that you caused my cousin to fall off the cliff, but you actually want to make your mistake Blame it on me, what is your intention?"

"No? Isn't the lady who pushed the princess off the cliff with you?"

"No! I just happened to be on the same road with her, and I didn't know that she would do such a thing. Why do you say that I am with her?"

Duanmu Tian raised his head to look at the other lady who was huddled beside him with a frightened expression on his face, and said, "Tell me, which family does the other lady who climbed the mountain with you belong to?"

The girl shuddered and woke up slightly. She carefully glanced at Cheng Mengxuan, then knelt down and said, "Back... If you go back to the Princess, it's...that's the Fourth Miss of the Imperial Academy."

"This princess has never had any contact with the scholar's mansion, and she has never had any grudges with that fourth lady. Why did she suddenly intend to kill this princess? And why did she just happen to be with you, Miss Cheng? She is in a boudoir Miss, if no one backs her up, where does she have the guts to assassinate the Princess and the Third Highness?"

"The target of those people is not cousin at all, but you."

"how do you know?"

"I……"

"Because you also participated?"

"You're talking nonsense! Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were after you."

"Didn't you see the Third Highness fighting to the death with someone in the woods?"

"I……"

"As far as I know, the Hanlin Bachelor is a student of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and the fourth lady of the Bachelor's Mansion has been with you since childhood, and has always been your leader. Are you sure you really don't know anything?"

"I don't know!" She stood up staggeringly, and said with a cold look at her, "Besides, this is all just your side story, you said she pushed you off the cliff, but I thought it was because you saw her walking with me It was close, so I deliberately pulled her into the cliff together, trying to frame me! Even if you are the princess, you can't act recklessly like this, spewing blood!"

The atmosphere suddenly became stalemate, everyone on the top of the mountain was looking at the two of them, the people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion were excited, the Duanmu Prince's Mansion faced each other coldly, and the monks of Lingyun Temple stood beside them, unable to do anything.

At this moment, a monk finally came out, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, it's really a crime that this kind of thing happened under the sacred tree in the holy place of Buddhism. But since everything has happened, I would like to ask the Princess to express my condolences, At present, the most important thing is to find His Highness the Third Highness. The old monk once observed the fate of His Highness the Third Highness. He is a blessed person, and he should not have such a short life. And this cliff is not very high, and there is a river below, and the river is very deep. When I first entered Lingyun Temple decades ago, someone accidentally fell from this cliff and survived, maybe the Third Highness can also survive."

Duanmutian's expression changed immediately. Although she insisted that Jun Xiuran would not die before, she knew that it was actually a large part of comforting herself. Now she suddenly heard the old monk say these words so calmly. Come, suddenly filled with endless hope.

No longer in the mood to fight with Cheng Mengxuan here, she suddenly stepped forward, but Cheng Mengxuan couldn't help but backed away in fright, she looked coldly at the eldest lady of the right minister's mansion, and said with a sneer: "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate Once we get the evidence, find out the person behind the scenes, including you, and... Defei Empress."

The last four words were almost whispered in her ears, and only Cheng Mengxuan could hear them.

This is just her guess, because she thinks that although she has become notorious after returning to Beijing, there may be quite a few people who regard her as a thorn in the side, such as other empresses and princes, but they only target her and not Jun Xiuran In particular, Cheng Mengxuan was safe and sound in the conflict between the masked people. It is absolutely impossible for the behind-the-scenes people to be the empresses and the princes. After thinking about it, it seems that only one person meets the conditions.

When Cheng Mengxuan heard the last four words she said, she couldn't stand it all of a sudden, her whole body froze. Duanmutian suddenly felt hesitant and determined, and after a sneer, she ignored her, turned around and flew down the mountain ran down.

She is going to find Jun Xiuran, she must find him!
At this moment, she was suddenly extremely sober, soberly aware of what she wanted, what she wanted to do, and also soberly aware of her affection for Jun Xiuran.

Outside of friends, she still liked him, more than a little.

The news that His Highness the Third Highness was assassinated and fell off the cliff was quickly spread back to the capital. He had just returned to the palace and hadn't even had time to sit down and have a good rest. The emperor, who had a good meal of delicious food, was startled when he got the news. , Immediately ordered to dispatch the army to Lingyun Mountain, determined to find the Third Highness, and at the same time he ordered to strictly investigate those assassins!

For a while, the capital city that had just subsided a little was once again turbulent. The gust of wind that fell from the cliff under the third hall directly blew into the capital city, blowing the wind and rain in the court hall.

In the Xuande Palace, the Concubine De, who was still sick, suddenly heard the news and was not only dumbfounded, but then exclaimed: "How could this be?" Then she fainted as soon as she closed her eyes, scaring the maids and eunuchs in the Xuande Palace. They panicked for a while, and rushed to the imperial hospital to invite the imperial doctor.
